The new facility is expected to create up to 90 new jobs.
“We are excited to bring our latest seating technologies to the China market and build a just-in-time plant to serve our customer,” said Asia Magna Seating managing director, Jim Chen.
Taizhou marks the fifth manufacturing facility for Magna Seating and the 33rd overall for Magna in China.
